Abstract

Vitiligo is a relatively common, acquired depigmenting disease caused by the loss of epidermal melanocytes. Oxidative stress is known to participate in the initiation of vitiligo by triggering autoimmunity. In this study, we tried to identify factors serving as a bridge between oxidative stress and autoimmunity in vitiligo. According to RNA sequencing analysis on H2O2-treated melanocytes, interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) among interferon signaling-related genes were particularly upregulated.
